Mon, 13 Jun 2016 04:26:25 +0000media1580526Moved this from the humor group to here. (At Kalga's request, I still don't get how you couldn't see the humor but whatever, hot topic)
To quote Foxhounde:
--- I'm not against the US going to fight ISIL because I'm against us retaliating. I'm against it because given our track record we'll screw it up by destroying Assad's government while we're there, install a weak puppet dictator.... eh "Democracy"and in a few years it'll collapse and there'll be something worse than ISIL.
I think we should quit arming the "Totally not terrorists" and let Assad and Russia handle this one. ---
A response from myself to Foxhounde
--- After what has happened in the mideast with our recent leadership I'm gonna have to agree. Bush Senior had the right idea back in the Gulf War, got us in to do what we needed to do then got us out. He didn't try democratizing any governments there. Just kicked Saddam outta Kuwait which secured our interests and then left.
Why that's so difficult for us to do now, we have idiots in Washington D.C. And all that's done is encourage the most Anti-American sentiment Ive seen in the last decade. Hell, you've even seen it here on moddb. As if hate is gonna solve anything, never does.
If anything people should support us getting a government that actually has common sense over what we have now. We did have leaders like that before. Of course, those in the EU and elsewhere have their own problems with government. Like the refugee crisis and how terribly that's being handled. I'd be delusional to believe these issues will resolve themselves anytime in the next decade. ---

The European Commission announced a new code of conduct which is intended to combat hate speech online. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Microsoft have agreed to abide by the code. The agreement specifically mentions that it will apply to Microsoft-hosted consumer services. Although a representative of Google was quoted in the press release, YouTube is stated to be a partner in the agreement rather than Google. Whether or not Google services other than YouTube will be affected by this deal is not entirely clear.
To quote a comment on the link.
"Working with the EU on a subject like this is deplorable. Over the last few years the EU as a whole and European countries like France and Germany have shown that they see free speech and the open Internet as enemies. Working with the EU to encourage "alternative narratives" is some especially Dystopian shit; tech companies would basically be working as propaganda makers. Everything about this is unsettling and sets a horrid precedent."]]>Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, the EU, and fascism.http://techraptor.net/content/facebook-twitter-youtube-microsoft-agree-follow-eu-hate-speech-rules

Fri, 12 Jun 2015 06:03:34 +0000media1333744What should be done about poverty in Africa?
There are a huge variety of opinions on this issue. Some argue that current methods of foreign aid are fine, but perhaps need to be increased in scale. Others believe that the system is dysfunctional and needs to be drastically altered in some way or another. Yet others believe that foreign aid actually hurts African economies, and that the only way to help the continent is through removing all assistance from developed nations.
